MOREThe video is a collage of black and white images shot on a 35mm analog film. Images are exchanged at a rapid pace and, according to the principle of stop-motion animation, create the illusion of flickering and hectic movement. Images of nature (tree branches) and urban (street lights, graffiti, fences, roads) are intertwined. Open aperture shots produce a branch-like linear light drawing that transitions and flashes alternately with close-ups of bare branches. Stroboscopic flashes of images are accompanied by the original music of Klemen Tehovnik and emphasize temporariness, fragmentation and anxiety.
